Gotta love these idiots, guy being fouled by 3 players & the commentators talk about ferocious defending ??? ...only to have the ref blow for over-carrying on the guy w/both arms held nearly behind his back. Dropping or attempting to boot it being the only option. Gowran_Yank (Kilkenny) - Posts: 96 - 10/06/2019 14:10:41 2192919 Link 1 |

Rory Gallagher on today talking about high press on opposition kick-Outs and pressing out in defence. Can't believe RTÉ had him on today. He has achieved nothing as a coach or manager at club or county level apart from riding on the crest of jimmy mc Guinness, who he subsequently fell out with as he thought he knew better than him. His style of football is shocking and now he is a panelist on the Sunday Game!!!! ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 724 - 16/06/2019 19:11:52 2195968 Link 3 |

Darragh Maloney taking the staff at semple stadium to task over a temporarily incorrect scoreboard when he is commentating on "Brendan McGrath" and Alan Flynn apparently came on as a sub with 10 minutes to go even though he'd already been on the field for 40 minutes as a replacement for Barrett.

I thought his analysis was decent. Jim McGuinness must have rated him somewhat if he kept him in the Donegal management setup. Maybe RTE should require analysts with a quota of medals and ignore men and women who are actually good at analysing games?

I find it funny when Kilkenny lost against Galway the panel was giving out about the ref ! McAllister in the Galway v Dublin was poor , nothing mentioned about it! We have Wexford ,cork , Kilkenny and Dublin all represented on the panel tonight! Derek McGrath is the best analyst by a mile ! ecad123 (Galway) - Posts: 272 - 16/06/2019 22:36:26 2196109 Link 0 |

The programme is a total snorefest these days. Gaelic football is dead in the water while the hurling boys come out with the same "Yerrah Yerrah........ man's game......dancing at the crossroads..... go on ye boys ye" non critical repetitive, predictable rhubarb every week. Joanne Cantwell tries too hard in a false forced way to make the live broadcasts interesting and fails miserably while Des Cahill and Ciaran Whelan just loves the Dubs in an eyelash flattering manner and will NEVER say ANYTHING critical about them. Brolly should just be taped once at the start of the year and the PLAY button pressed as he comes out with the same crap all the time. Spillane and O'Rourke are like characters from Ireland's Eye.

Pathetic coverage of the Parnell Park affair. No mention of the Tuohey penalty incident, or of McAllister leaning with the Dubs all through. Some achievement to come away with a point score of 24-19 with that referee, but that's what a championship calibre team can do. Well done Galway, enjoy the well deserved rest lads.

Agree totally with the above, and his over analysis at half time was proved to be way off the mark at full time. Sometimes games are won with passion, desire and will to win. Not with Master tactitions over complicating the game !!

You Galway lads have to learn that when public sentiment is behind your opponents, you lose all rights to complain about the referee and any injustices carried out by said referee are quickly glossed over.

Ye got some very soft scorable frees in the first half on Saturday night. Two frees for two perfectly good hooks and another for minimal contact on TJ. I actually thought Horgan had a good game in the circumstances on Saturday night. He probably let a bit much go but i still think thats the better side to go with rather than blowing everything.

His halftime analysis of the first half tactics was grand. What analysts do you know that can analyse the second half at half-time when the first half tactics are abandoned and one team doesn't try as hard? Maybe you know some psychic analysts?

I wasn't talking about the Kilkenny Wexford match?

No mention either of Concannon not getting the line for a late hit on Nolan, nor Johnny Glynn dragging down Crummy and somehow getting himself a free in. You get some decisions, you don't get others. Try and be an adult about it and grow up. Most Galwegians can acknowledge when they're beaten by the better team on the night. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 17/06/2019 14:47:19 2196544 Link 4 |

It wasn't just his over analysis, he was implying/predicting Roscommon couldn't win the game never mind the second half. Anybody who knows Gaelic football can analyze a game . These guys are supposed to know that bit more are they not . There insight into the second half wasn't that clever as it turned out.

They were 5 points down in Galways patch and Galway were favourites. Roscommon were 5/2 beforehand, probably longer at halftime. Hard to judge Gallagher's punditry skills after just one game. He did say Roscommon should be more aggressive with Shane Walsh in the second half and they were but if doesn't make him a genius! But I think very few pundits could had predicted the Roscommon turnaround and very few predicted they would win.

just watched the camogie coverage there. The commentator/summariser could not pronounce Gráinne Egan's name. She kept saying "Granny" s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 30/06/2019 22:01:56 2203156 Link 0 |

First world problems. People will honestly jump on anything.

Watched a replay of the live coverage from yesterdays Leinster Final and I was so disappointed with Donal O Gradys co-commentary from a Wexford point of view. Everything he said was negative and anti-wexford. Constantly questioning the style of play and all the different things they should be doing. Below is a smaple of the kind of stuff he was saying - Conor Mac, playing full forward scored a point from the 21 yard line after a great catch and pass by Liam Og McGovern and his insightful analysis was " that he had to go for a point because there was nobody else inside". If Horgan or Reid scored the same point they'd be lauded for their "instinctful hurling". I find it a bit insulting to the players that all the analysis is on Davy and his system (which is great by the way) rather than the actual quality of the players on show. Conor MacDonalds 1st point is as good a score i have ever seen in Croke Park and there are probably only about 5 or 6 players in the country who could have scored it but it all justs gets forgotten about in the sweeper tactics talk!

Larry Ogrady was no different in 96 towards wexford, he is a typical school teacher in his comments, if it's not text book it's not right tonydoranfan (Wexford) - Posts: 550 - 01/07/2019 16:17:19 2203713 Link 0 |

No, that's wrong - the name was pronounced perfectly on both occasions. Another unsubstantiated whinge, like a lot of the contributions on this thread.
